title: Molecular diagnosis of polycystic echinococcosis due to Echinococcus vogeli in a Paraguayan immigrant in Argentina.
abstract: Polycystic echinococcosis due to Echinococcus vogeli is a rare parasitic infection that occurs in rural areas of Central and South America. Only molecular identification performed on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded liver tissue samples gave an unequivocal diagnosis of this disease in a Paraguayan immigrant in Argentina.
